The image depicts the upper half of an elderly man in a semi-reclined position, facing to the right. He has a thick beard, curly hair, wide-open eyes, a strong nose, and chin. He is shirtless, with a cloth draping across his shoulder and chest. He holds a large book with several pages, and his hands are visible. The background features a pattern of diagonal lines, giving the impression of a traditional sketch style.
